Research Question:

What are the primary ways of decreasing recidivism in the women offender population?

This research question aims at discussing various methods that can be used to curb recidivism in women offender population. It is an area of research that has a lot to gather and comprehend in a study. Some of the current programs used include prison entrepreneurship program (PEP), community bridges fact teams as well as 4 safer foundations. These programs have proved to help in solving the problem of recidivism in the society. I believe that there a better society can be created when recidivism is reduced.

because as compared to male offenders, a significant percentage of females commit less severe
criminal activities, (Christine page 190). Female offenders are the intended audiences.
Motivations that have been enlisted in the source includes how it is possible to determine how to
